Hi Mal,

The Firewire adapter, still readily available, must use the TI (Texas Instruments) chipset to work satisactorily with the Flex. Do a search in the usual places - those that use the TI chipset proudly say so, those that don't, don't.

Other parts are prone to crackling/dropping out, needing ridiculous buffer lengths, or even not working at all at higher sample rates.

It is a well-known issue not just with the Flex but with recording audio interfaces and other applications that tax the link heavily, too.

Also, don't presume to run the Flex on a hand-me-down or slow 'puter - the software needs something fast, say a good dual-core on up.

        73,

                Steve   W3EEE

Mal - can't recall the details, but USB-firewire adapters
don't work with the Flex - or at least, most of them. There's
been plenty of discussion about this on the
[email protected] group.

I'd check there before buying any USB-Firewire adapter.

Cheers,
